Lorrene Conino, team captain of Salon Lorrene's "Cut it Out" says, "Our team has really enjoyed eating the Starkist flavored tuna packets on plain rice cakes for our quick and easy lunch. Eating raw vegetables with hummus is also a favorite of one of our team members."

Jenny McGoon of Mount Prospect Park District's "POWER Crew" says, "I have been LOVING riced cauliflower. I make a lot of stir-frys with it. I also like using coconut aminos instead of soy sauce."

One of the biggest difficulties of the Fittest Loser Challenge is fighting bad food temptations.

Aileen Tischauser, team captain of Elk Grove Park District's "Elk Strong" says, "Our Monday morning workouts/discussions have turned into 'Yay Me/You' for passing up pizza and cupcakes at a weekend party. And knowing how to choose the better choices. They have found that the support from each other is priceless. It's GREAT!!"

If At Work teams can continue this kind of support, then they should have no problem continuing their healthy habits when the Fittest Loser Challenge ends.
